Sharon Hoyle

Sunday, September 7th, 2014

    Sharon Jean Hoyle, lifelong resident of Sedro-Woolley, passed away at Skagit Valley Hospital on Sunday, September 7, 2014, after a long illness and complications from kidney failure. She is now free of the pain and at peace. She was 73 years old.

    Born in Sedro-Woolley on October 26, 1940, Sharon was the eldest of two daughters born to Tillie and Carmen Peterson. She grew up as a typical child of the Valley, and was attending Sedro-Woolley High School when she met and married her lifelong best friend and partner, Truman, in January of 1957. They loved and raised two sons, Marlon and Brian.

    In the 1960s and 70s, Sharon was an avid bowler in the valley, and made a lot of lasting friendships among the many leagues she participated in. She also loved family camping and fishing trips. She and Truman and the boys were often found together on the banks of the Skagit or at one of the local lakes.

    Sharon worked at a number of different businesses over the years and collected friendships at each stop along the way. She was probably best known as a motor route driver for the Skagit Valley Herald over many long, hard delivery seasons.

    Mom’s passions were her family, her friends and her close-knit church community. Oh, and we can’t forget her beloved Mariners! She was a fixture on the church choir and an active participant in the Skagit Bluegrass and Country Music Association. Lord, she loved to sing the Gospel! She will be greatly, deeply missed.

    She is survived by her husband, Truman; son, Marlon Hoyle (Trish); daughter-in-law, Becky Hoyle; grandchildren, Brian (Cristy), Brandon (Lisa), Jeremy (Carrie), Jennifer (Verlie), Carrie, Whitney (Dustin), Stan (Jeramy) and Shannon; sister, Wanda  Freeling (Conrad); There are also 15 great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and her extensive church “family”.

    Sharon was preceded in death by her mother and father, and by her youngest son, Brian. Mom and Brian are now singing together, in that grandest of choirs.

   Funeral Services will be held at 1:00 PM on Friday, September 12, 2014, at Lemley Chapel in Sedro-Woolley, followed by a short graveside service at Greenhills Memorial Cemetery in Burlington. Following the services, a celebration of life reception will be held at the Sedro-Woolley Community Church, 901 Talcott Street, Sedro-Woolley.

    I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs. Hoyle. I image she was an amazing woman. I won’t pretend to know what you’re going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is Isaiah 26:19, which says, “Your dead will live… Awake and shout joyfully, you residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, and the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” I hope that this verse will also comfort you; and I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved wife and mother. Sincerely, Meryl.
